Dear Pre-K Parents,
      
              The children did really well on their first week of school. There was some nervousness and a few tears but by Friday everyone was doing so much better. The children are learning the routines of the class and are doing a great job as they settle into Prek life. I appreciate the emails from parents with questions and concerns. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me about anything happening in the class. 

I realized that I will need 1 bottle of elmers glue for each child (please label).  If possible please try and send it in by Wednesday. When the bottle is finished I will refill it for your child. So sorry that it wasn't on the original supply list.

I emailed you an invitation for google classroom . Please keep this handy in case they are needed later in the year. For now only the virtual children will be using this. You do not need to send me the children's work as they are in school.

Our times are 8:45 am until 2:20 pm. Please be prompt!  We don't want to be in the way of Prek-2's arrival and dismissal.

This week in school we will be learning about shapes and the sign of the cross.
There will be art projects and other activities to help them learn or review these lessons. 

*Remember to fill out the student health check form EVERY SUNDAY . It is located on this class page. Just click on the link. If it is not filled out your child will not be allowed to attend school on Monday . *

Please remember to check this class page every couple of days.  Also feel free to email any time about anything  nonorato5578@hnomschool.org
Also email me if your child is not coming to school. This will be your absent note. 

VIRTUAL PARENTS-

             Thank you for your patience this week. It was difficult on both sides but I think by Friday we got it all working and everyone attending the virtual meetings. So far the times seems to be working and I will let you know if there are any time changes. Continue to sign in to Art using the prek link but sign into library using the library link. The times and library link are found on this class page.  When you sign in for art class, please have crayons and white paper for them to use. White paper should be unlined. 

*From now on please look for your child's work under classwork and download it and when completed send it to me. *

Please continue to be patient as we navigate through this new way of teaching. I promise with time this will improve. Practice makes perfect. 

                                   
                                                                               Sincerely,
                                                                             Mrs. Onorato

There is so much fun and learning waiting for your child to experience!

This will be a fun and exciting year as your child prepares for Kindergarten. We will be learning about letters, numbers, shapes, colors, seasons, holidays, animals, community helpers, fire safety, nutrition, life cycles of a butterfly and frog, insects, dinosaurs, do STEM activites and so much more!

We will be learning all about Jesus and being kind to each other and how to be a "bucket filler"
